Concacaf just awarded French Guiana a 3-0 win as Belize told them they couldn't get there for tonight's Nations League game.

This seems to have been a late decision by Belize. Does anyone know anything about the reasons they couldn't travel?

Duffy along with Richard Keogh absolutely immense for RoI this evening, they are almost single handedly keeping the Swiss at bay.

Interesting choice tomorrow evening:

Scotchland v Russia - comedy

Why did the entire team have to travel to Guatemala City to obtain passports? Belize is British Honduras so probably doesn't have embassies but isn't French Guiana also a dependency, and therefore wouldn't have an embassy in Guatemala City?

It's not uncommon for people from one Central American country to have to go to another for visas, and I imagine Guatemala is the nearest French embassy. But you would think they would have some way around this for visiting national teams.

South Dublin is the venue ko 8pm.(Shamrock Rovers currently rent the ground). This pic isn't from from this evening sadly, there'll only be a fraction of that crowd in attendance. There's a stream of Azerbaijan V Slovakia under 21s on the Dutch site but not one from Dublin :( If anybody finds one could they p.m. me please.

The game is on in Tallaght Stadium which is actually in SW Dublin - a working class part of Dublin - they would be highly insulted if it was suggested their ground was in the snob land of South Dublin.

The capacity of Tallaght is 8,000 and there are at least 5,000 at the game (over 3,500 tickets were sold in advance) - and it could well be a stadium record - which was 6,414 for a LoI game in April for Shamrock Rovers V Bohemians (we'll find out after half time).
